ASREN perfSONAR Workshop

The Arab States Research and Education Network (ASREN), International Networks at Indiana University (IN@IU) and the Moroccan Academic and Research Wide Area Network (MARWAN) invite you to register for their upcoming perfSONAR training workshop to be held in Rabat, Morocco, 15-18, April 2019.

What is perfSONAR?

perfSONAR is a network measurement toolkit designed to provide federated coverage of paths, and help to establish end-to-end usage expectations. There are 1000s of perfSONAR instances deployed world wide, many of which are available for open testing of key measures of network performance. This global infrastructure helps to identify and isolate problems as they happen, making the role of supporting network users easier for engineering teams, and increasing productivity when utilizing network resources.

Workshop Synopsis

This is a hands-on, perfSONAR focused workshop for the purpose of creating a pSConfig dashboard for use by ASREN and their member institutions. An understanding of network or system administration is required. During the course of the workshop we will:

Assemble NUC7i3BNH small nodes for use in the workshop

Install the perfSONAR Toolkit on the small nodes

Test the nodes against one another on the local network

Prepare nodes for deployment at each participant’s home institution for use in a wider ASREN production monitoring dashboard

The skills learned during this course are intended to prepare workshop participants to plan and deploy their own perfSONAR meshes at their home institution or National Research and Education (NREN).
